WashedOver, to news in Sam Bankman-Fried found guilty on all counts at fraud trial over crypto exchange FTX
@WashedOver@lemmy.ca avatar

Another article I read looking at things from his parent’s pov, thinks he likes to gamble, and there was a small chance he could walk free like OJ and despite that chance being so small he went for it.

Usually people take the deal to plead guilty to save family and friends the ordeal of testifying in court. He seemed to not care about this.

As with most parents they often think their child is innocence and still the 3 year old they once knew. The article covered how that has been shattered now without a doubt after this case. The appeals should be interesting and where they have left to go after this sh8tshow from the defense. The father might be pulled further into this next…

I’m currently reading a marketing book from the early 90s at it uses Mr Dump’s empire as examples of failures on a few fronts from brand extension to the failure of ego and the impact on proper marketing. His bankruptcies are also mentioned along with the huge brass T he had in his office.

It’s amazing to me how much of a Turnip he has been for so long and how far he has gotten despite it all. Having his father’s money certainly helped him keep going as most normal people do not get that many get out of jail cards.

Unfortunately his escapades could lead to further deaths than what we have seen so far. Still I can’t get how this guy is a savior to so many despite the “teachings” of their good books…

Maybe not for them, technically they have adapted and overcome. They might even be thriving despite of it…

The same thing is going on with Google Play gift cards. I’ve lost $150 not understanding how difficult it is to correct any issues with redeeming them as they don’t have phone support for them, only automated email.

Since I have rocks in my head I tried 13 times to get the issue fixed with photos of the card and the receipts. The store were they were bought washed their hands of it saying there’s no refunds on gift cards. It was ridiculous and I had to give up. I needed to do charge backs on my credit card and I can never redeem a gift card on my google accounts again.

Reading online it happens often where people buy them in a grocery store with cash and are unable to redeem them and there is no recourse. Google is keeping millions of dollars of unused Google Play cards. At least there was a class action lawsuit at one point in California about it. Not sure if it’s gotten anywhere. This is when I think government intervention is needed.

Same here on the carbs. I notice when I eat after 6pm it’s going to affect me with either a not great sleep and the need for bathroom break(s) through the night. Low intake of sugar throughout the day I sleep much better and more soundly.

When I did Atkins many years ago, it was some of the best sleep I ever had. It was like I was a teenager again that could sleep all day and night.

I recall a time when Windows 10 was going to be the last release of windows. It’s was just going to be updated forever. I’m glad that they have returned to the usual every second or so release is going to be a unfinished half baked turd until we can really get things right in the following release.

RIP Bob, ME, Vista, 8/8.1, and hopefully sooner than later 11…

It’s a shame how they railroaded him into the poor house for such ideas. Sometimes being first is the worst to be.

However later on there was more support even among Americans with the US Nazi party that existed and tried to run in elections.

To be fair many around the world saw Fascism as a new exciting way to run a country until war broke out. Then those Nazis and fascists were only good when they were dead.

I wonder if those cosplaying as Nazis today understand they aren’t the heroes they think they are especially when it comes to US WW2 veterans, (many would consider the real heroes) would want these newer Nazis dead too.

The Dearborn Independent from Henry Ford was one of the most wildly distributed papers of its time due to the Ford dealer network and how Ford was lauded as a the hero that brought the car to rural folk giving them freedom.

It’s unfortunate that his antisemitic views were often the main things one would find in his paper that many would have just accepted as fact. Ford a brilliant man in many ways but this was one of the few ways in which he wasn’t.

As I’ve become older the old “unhealthy” meals of bacon and eggs were not fully bad way to start your day in the sense of protein over carbs and sugars.

The latter leaves one hungry and snacking all day with no way to ever really get full. As much as bacon isn’t healthy for us the protein start is better for blood sugars than oatmeal or cereals to break fast.
